ATRUN(8) MachTen System Manager’s Manual ATRUN(8)

NAME
atrun - run jobs queued for later execution

SYOPSIS
atrun

DESCRIPTION
The atrun utility runs commands queued by at(1). It is usually invoked
by crond(8) every ten minutes.

FILES
/var/at/jobs Directory containing job files
/var/at/spool Directory containing output spool files
/var/at/lockfile Job-creation lock file.

SEE ALSO
crond(8), at(1)

BUGS
The functionality of atrun should arguaby be merged into crond(8).

CAVEATS
Since the default configuration causes atrun to be invoked every ten min-
utes, commands queued by at(1) may end up being executed up to nine min-
utes later than would be otherwise expected.
